Chivalry abhors the coward who strikes a cripple—child—or a woman, but what sort of human is it who refuses his hand to a brother because of that brother's ignorance, dirt—or colour?
There are no terms black enough for the sins of the spirit.
Intolerance—contempt—repulsion—these belong to cowards.
These are what retard evolution, not war—or bloodshed.
The darkest crimes are bloodless.
The deepest sin is not in our criminal code.
Brotherhood, in its deepest meaning, is the comprehensive term.
It is not so much food and money the poor need, but love, and a true—not a patronising sympathy.
You are your brother's keeper.
His ultimate good should be your first thought and last.
